different between jog vs jong

English

Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Originally with the meaning of "to shake up and down". Perhaps an early alteration of English shog (“to jolt, shake; depart, go”), from Middle English shoggen, schoggen (“to shake up and down, jog”), from Middle Dutch schocken (“to jolt, bounce”) or Middle Low German schoggen, schocken (“to shog”), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *skokkan (“to move, shake, tremble”). More at shock.

Alternatively from Middle English joggen, a variant of jaggen (“to pierce, prod, stir up, arouse”).
